Very clean all round. Big TV which makes a change from the little ones in most places. Staff very good. Bathroom good but in our room the rain shower head needed attention has it looked like several holes were blocked and it sprayed everywhere. Only small complaint is if we had the bedroom window open the wind was noisy thro the bedroom door (whistled). It’s also a pity you have to go outside to access the bar and restaurant from the hotel side, poor design. Hotel, food and staff excellent

The room although small was lovely , it was clean with a really lovely view. The meals were excellent , couldn’t fault it. My only complaint was the atmosphere in the bar . Wanting a nice drink after the meal we had to put up with a group of young loud mouthed men whose language was atrocious . Expected bar staff to have a word with them but didn’t until we complained . Spoilt the evening . The staff where very friendly however .

We loved our stay here! The countryside was beautiful and the staff was friendly and helpful. The bed was so comfortable and it was updated in a cool modern style. The parking was close and it was just a quaint, cool place! Didn't have enough time to eat there, but judging by the popularity, I'm sure it was good!
